Hi all, Has anyone used automatic gravity feeders with Ziwipeak air-dried food? (Maybe my question has to be in General Cat Care section but I put it in here, thinking many raw feeders use this brand. If it should be moved, please feel free to do that.) I feed raw to my two cats, 3 times a...

Good advice from the above posters already, but I wanted to add one thing. I flew the opposite direction, from the US to Tokyo about a year ago with my cat. She stayed in cabin with me . There were only two commercial airlines that fly from the US to Japan and allow pets in cabin at that time...

Thank you for your advice, Kieka :) I was thinking I would probably need to give her some stinky canned food after the drugs wear off, but she started to eat her regular raw food on her own. 6 hours after the vet visit, she ate a little. Another 6 hours later at around midnight, she finished...

My 9 months old DSH kitten ate a ScarAway strip. (1.5 x 3 inches, it's like a cloth-type bandage with a thin layer of silicone). I didn't actually see her eating it, but I saw her smacking although there's not food out, and I cannot find one of those strips anywhere (I use 2 every night), so I...

Hi! I used to have cameras set up in my place. I used a mobile app called "iCam" ($4.99) and ip/network cameras (you could use a built-in camera on a laptop machine, too). It's easy to set up but there are a few drawbacks. Everything has to go through their server although it is...

I've seen the cheap ones at a dollar store ("100-yen shop" here in Japan). It's called "ko-gao (small-face) roller" and they're supposed to make your (human) face smaller. Maybe I should get one

We have a little update My kitten Haru is back home safe and sound. She is recovering nicely. My other cat Sakura is hissing at Haru, but everything will be fine in a couple of days, I suppose. Even I can smell something hospital-ish. We actually went with the new drug (Alfaxan) and...

Thank you, Di and Bob! When I adopted Sakura (now 2 y.o.), it was 2 or 3 days after her spay surgery, so I remember how painful the incision site looked like, etc., but she was totally fine. She didn't come with an E collar. Haru will not get an E collar, either, the vet said. I don't have...

This is Haru.

Hi! My kitten (approx. 6 months old, female, DSH) is going under a spay surgery next week. I asked the vet about the procedure, and for anesthesia, they told me they would use a combination of Selactar (xylazine) and Ketamine first, then Isoflurane gas. I've asked them about other options, and...

Congratulations, TabbyTom and January! I submitted the photo for the first time here, and it was a lot of fun! All the pictures were funny and cute. I'm already looking forward to the next Picture of the Month

Sakura in her favorite tunnel (only the head and front paws?) when she was 10 months old.

Changing the diet may or may not help for the butt smell, because my kitten stank for a good 6 weeks at least after the transition. The smell is mostly gone now, but I'm not sure if it is due to her diet. It's probably unrelated. Maybe she started to groom herself more thoroughly. I still...

Thanks for checking your kitties! I freaked out a little bit when I first found out about them because it was right after I adopted my first cat. I thought they must be something bad. Recently there was a thread by a new cat owner asking about a bump on her/his cat's gum/lip, and it looked...

Could the smell be from the anal glands? I have a 5-month-old female kitten. I adopted her in June when she was approximately 2 months old. Her rear end smelled bad at that time, it was like a poop smell but not exactly. It was not like the diarrhea poop smell. My kitten’s butt was also totally...

Thanks for the reply :) No, they are not hard to the touch. It looks like a pillow for the fang when the mouth is closed. I looked at them closely, and it seems like these "bumps" work to fill the blanks made by the canine teeth and shut the oral cavity better? Maybe? I have no idea why some...
